Well – what do you know…

Col 3:5-9

Mat 5:21-23
Mat 5:27-28

And even if we didn’t do them, we certainly have been tempted to do them recently.

Rom 7:14-24

Evil is present in me, the one who wants to do good.

Left to my one devices, I will always end up in a prison, a wretched, wretched man.

…without regard to the interests or concerns of any other group.

They just ignore them, go into denial, convince themselves that there is no such thing really as sinning.

Others think that the way to overcome sin is through sheer willpower.

 

The sin were were trying to overcome – overcomes us instead.

The easy way to learn this is to simply believe God’s word on this point.

Rom 7:7-8

 

Other people think that the way to overcome sin is by practices and rituals.

But does any of that remove sin which dwells in us?

Gal 5:1-6

Submitting to man-made rules and decrees to treat their body severely.

Rather than practice self-discipline, they practice self-denial.

SELF!

 

Self is the PROBLEM!!

 

This is NOT the answer!!

Col 2:20-23

Rom 8:1-10
